Businesses need certified translations whenever a document will be reviewed by a regulator, court, bank, or international authority. In these situations, the translation must be certified to confirm that it is accurate, complete, and suitable for official use.
In the UK, certified translations are widely accepted by government bodies, regulators, courts, financial institutions, and international partners. The certification is typically issued as a Certificate of Translation Accuracy, confirming that the translation is a true and complete representation of the original.
For documents used overseas, different forms of certification may be required. We provide notarised, apostilled, and sworn translations for countries that specify a particular type of authentication.

A certified translation in the UK is supplied with a Certificate of Translation Accuracy, confirming that the translation is a true and complete representation of the original document. Our certified translations include:
A notarised translation adds a formal layer of legal authentication to a certified translation. The translator signs a declaration in the presence of a UK Notary Public, who verifies their identity and signature. The notary then issues a notarial certificate and attaches it to the translation.
An apostilled translation follows the same steps as a notarised translation but with one additional stage. The notarised translation is submitted to the UK FCDO, which issues the apostille for use in Hague Convention countries.
Some countries require translations completed by a sworn translator — a linguist officially appointed by a court or government authority. This system is common in the EU and Latin America.
We support all major business languages across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas — always with professionally qualified translators.
If your language isn’t listed, we can usually still help.
A certified translation is a translation together with a signed declaration confirming that it is accurate and complete.

Yes. Our certified translations meet the standards required by UK regulators, courts, banks, and public bodies.

Yes. UK certification rules allow translations to be produced from high-quality scans or digital files. As long as the document is legible and complete, we can translate and certify it without needing the physical original.
Most business documents can be certified within one to three working days, depending on length, complexity, and formatting requirements. Larger bundles, technical documents, or materials requiring notarisation or apostille may take longer. We also offer expedited turnaround for urgent deadlines.
UK authorities and international organisations generally prefer certifications issued by translators or firms who are members of recognised professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL), the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), or the Association of Translation Companies (ATC). These memberships provide additional assurance of professional competence, traceability, and accountability.
We’re built for businesses operating across multiple markets, translating the documents that keep your operations moving.
